The driver for Spea Media FX and other Ensoniq SoundScape based cards is
|
|
under construction. Some kind of (ALPHA) driver should be available
|
|
within a month or two. Announcements will be sent to the SOUND channel.
|
|
To join send a message to linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi. Include
|
|
just a line containing "X-Mn-Admin: join SOUND" to the message.

But you should be careful not to use a long keyboard cable! I have seen

keyboard cables in use on some systems that are incredibly long... You

Hi,
|
|
|
|
|
|
yesterday I tried to compile one of my FORTRAN programs with the
|
|
f2c translator using the -g option, but the f77 script which is
|
|
from the Slackware 2.0 package f2c.tgz complains about a missing
|
|
libf2c.a .
|
|
|
|
The f2c.tgz package contains only a shared library and libf2c.sa.
|
|
|
|
I tried to find the sources for this particular f2c version, but
|
|
I did not find any sources for libf2c.a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any hints ?

I have dip running on a linux system. I would like to use SLIP over
|
|
a modem configured for dialback. Here is what I would like to see:
|
|
|
|
local - start dip up and make the call
|
|
remote - ring ring; answers and asks for username, password, and
|
|
access code; then hangs up
|
|
local - wait for the call
|
|
remote - call me back and prompt for username and password
|
|
local - pick up the phone and give appropriate username and password
|
|
remote - respond with terminal server prompt
|
|
local - select slip and away we go !
|
|
|
|
Here is what is happening:
|
|
|
|
local - start dip up and make the call
|
|
remote - ring ring; answers and asks for username, password, and
|
|
access code; then hangs up
|
|
local - EXIT DIP WITH ERROR
|
|
remote - call me back
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have a sample dip configuration file that will do what I want ?

Once again, a new version has been posted to sunsite which
|
|
fixes the problem. So problem is moot anyway. (Fixes it for -2 and
|
|
-3 anyway). In anycase it's pretty silly to run the doubling or
|
|
tripling modes because this really mauls performance. It's so much
|
|
easier to use the cntrl-alt-+ hot key to switch it (the X server)to
|
|
a more appropriate video mode. People have been posting Xconfig info
|
|
for various low rez modes.

Has anyone got music going? I'm running it on my 1.1.33 kernel
|
|
on a 486/66 with 16M ram. I've got the 2.9 sound driver and a pro
|
|
audio spectrum 16. Otherwise everything works great...smooth motion
|
|
and good effects sound. But no music. I don't know whether it's
|
|
supposed to work or not.

We also must remember the speed of sound through fat is greatly reduced.

You can't just copy your DOS Doom default.cfg to your Linux
|
|
.doomrc. There are different options in the Linux .doomrc and
|
|
the keycodes are completely different.
|
|
|
|
At least for ASCII-character keys, you can just put the ASCII
|
|
code for the character generated by the key as the code for the
|
|
key in your .doomrc. I haven't figured out how the
|
|
shift/control/function keycodes work yet.

Everytime I see this come up I wonder what someone is thinking
|
|
when they say they want to do this? DOS does not have any means
|
|
of restricting access to the filesystem (oh, like /etc/passwd!)
|
|
to prevent someone with a DOS program like this from accessing my
|
|
system files as root! I really don't think this is a real swift
|
|
idea here.

Hi all,
|
|

i have a adaptec 1542 CF at adress 0x330. Now i have get a soundcard

(spea media fx), which want that adress too. Any attempt to change the

adress of aha 1542 to 0x2XX or 0x1XX doesn't work. DOS runs as normal, but

linux doesn't boot any more!
|

(Many game under DOS assume that at 0x330 is a Wave-Table-Adr! )
|

has someone a solution ??

"Reasonable" is a relative term which everyone must interpret for their
|
|
situation.
|
|
|
|
We purchased WordPerfect (SCO Unix version5.1) from WordPerfect for $99 U.S.
|
|
dollars earlier this year. This is a single-user license and the price is
|
|
based upon already owning version 5.1 for other platforms. This appears a
|
|
most reasonable price.

Just to clarify: I did not joke about the performance on my 386. It seems

that there are quite some differences in performance between systems that

should be comparable at first sight. Maybe this has got to do with the

amount of support that XFree has for a particular chipset? Anyway, LinuxDOOM
